synopsis

Deep in the heart of Texas, a jealous bar owner hires a private eye to kill his wife and her lover. The sleazy hitman double-crosses the husband, killing him instead and pocketing the cash. The perfect crime, or so it seems, but disposing of the corpse is not so simple. Blood Simple uncoils its film noir plot with audacious style, dense atmosphere and blood-curdling twists. The razor-sharp debut of Oscar-nominated Joel and Ethan Coen will have you on the very edge of your seat.

Where absolutely everything is not as it seems except for the Coens'ss brilliant film making. Arresting from start to the last frame this is the Coens'ss first film and a must see for any Coen fan and even if you ain't. They have equalled the quality and intrigue of their films but not surpassed the quality of this one. Five stars.
